Video shows aftermath of San Francisco plane crash

In this undated photo, Ye Meng Yuan poses for photos in a classroom in Jiangshan city in China's Zhejiang province. The parents of the 16-year-old girl who died after being struck by two San Francisco Fire Department rigs at the scene of the Asiana Airlines plane crash at San Francisco airport in July have filed a legal claim against the city. A precursor to a lawsuit the claim says firefighters knowingly abandoned Ye Meng Yuan 'in harm's way' after the crash and that the fire department failed to train its employees to avoid hitting victims at disaster scenes.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Video from a firefighter's helmet camera following the crash landing of an Asiana Airlines flight in San Francisco shows rescuers were aware there was someone on the ground outside the plane, before she was fatally run over by a fire truck.

CBS affiliate KPIX-TV first aired parts of the footage Tuesday night.

In the video, a firefighter with a helmet camera tells the driver of a fire truck that there's a person in front of him. A fire truck-mounted camera shows a firefighter directing the truck away from 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan.

The San Francisco Chronicle first reported on the video's content.

KPIX reports the video was obtained from a person close to the girl's family.
